Association between albumin infusion and septic patients with coronary heart disease: A retrospective study based on medical information mart for intensive care III database.

ABSTRACT: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common comorbidity in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, particularly in the elderly. This particular population may have worse conditions during sepsis, and it presents an overwhelming challenge for clinical practice. Previous studies suggested that patients with CHD have an increased risk of cardiovascular events, and low albumin concentration worsens the prognosis of patients with stable CHD. Hypoalbuminemia in patients with sepsis is common due to nutritional disorders, excessive consumption, and leakage. Albumin is a fluid often used for resuscitation in patients with sepsis. However, albumin infusion in patients with sepsis and CHD has rarely been studied. The effects and safety of albumin infusion in patients with sepsis and CHD remain unclear. The
